Using Claude for SAP ABAP development on RFC-only / SAProuter systems (even ECC R/3)Using Claude for SAP ABAP development on RFC-only / SAProuter systems (even ECC R/3)vibing-steampunk gives Claude read, search, edit and check access to ABAP source over ADT's REST API, but some SAProuters permit only SAP's native RFC and DIAG routes and block raw HTTP to the ICM, so that link can't reach them even though Eclipse ADT can. Eclipse gets through because it tunnels ADT over RFC through the standard SADT_REST_RFC_ENDPOINT function module instead of HTTP, a path the post traces by capturing a live Eclipse session. adt-rfc-bridge reproduces that tunnel as a local HTTP-to-RFC proxy built on PyRFC, put in front of vsp, and the author reports it working on both S/4HANA and classic ECC/R/3 systems where Eclipse ADT already connects.enrico_andreoli, published 2026-06-09
Using Communication Targets for Outbound RFC Communication in ABAPUsing Communication Targets for Outbound RFC Communication in ABAPWalks through calling a remote-enabled ABAP function module through a communication target instead of a direct RFC destination: on-premise, the APPLDEST transaction creates an application destination (client, CPIC type, host from SM51, authentication); in the cloud, saving a communication arrangement for an outbound-RFC communication scenario creates one automatically. ABAP code reaches the function with CALL FUNCTION (...) IN REMOTE SESSION, naming the application_destination parameter when a communication target has more than one assigned destination, and the piece walks a worked call to RFC_SYSTEM_INFO.Nikolina_MH, published 2025-11-10
Using Custom Actions to display PDF from SAP BTP Forms service into a CAP SAPUI5 applicationUsing Custom Actions to display PDF from SAP BTP Forms service into a CAP SAPUI5 applicationA requirement that arrived after the application was finished — render a PDF from the record currently open on an object page — and the join it needed: the Forms service bound to the CAP application, a custom action on the service, and a button on the object page header calling it.rodfior, published 2023-01-30
Using Github Actions to Deploy a CAP App (MTA)Using Github Actions to Deploy a CAP App (MTA)Walks through a GitHub Actions workflow that deploys a CAP project's MTA to SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry: secrets and variables for the BTP credentials, a push-triggered job that checks out the repository, installs Node.js, runs npx mbt build and then cf deploy against the target org and space, plus an optional test job and a note on reusable workflow templates. Written because capire's own CI/CD guide is Docker-based and the linked sample is marked broken, so this fills the gap with the plain cds add mta / mbt build / cf deploy sequence driven by a pipeline instead of a terminal. That sequence is exactly what cds up, beta since @sap/cds-dk 8.9.0 (March 2025), now runs as one command, so the pipeline mechanics still hold but the three manual build-and-deploy steps it scripts are no longer the only way there.Christopher_Ketzler, published 2024-08-26
Using HANA Cloud’s "VECTOR_EMBEDDING" Function in CAPUsing HANA Cloud’s "VECTOR_EMBEDDING" Function in CAPEmbeddings generated inside the database rather than fetched from AI Core or an external model — a Q4 2024 HANA Cloud function, used from CAP. The shift it describes is where the embedding step lives, which changes what has to be deployed and what has to be called.published 2025-03-02

Using RFC Function Modules and BAPIs in SAP Build Process AutomationUsing RFC Function Modules and BAPIs in SAP Build Process AutomationWalks through calling an S/4HANA BAPI (BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE, to create a billing document) from an SAP Build Process Automation action: mapping the virtual host to the internal system in SAP Cloud Connector over the RFC protocol and exposing the needed function modules, then creating an RFC-type destination in the BTP cockpit with the virtual message server and SMLG logon group. Once those two are in place, SAP Build lists the exposed BAPIs and RFCs for use in an action.MrRaj, published 2026-07-09
Using SAP managed iFlows for Time series data Integration in SAP IBP – Part 1 - Reading dataUsing SAP managed iFlows for Time series data Integration in SAP IBP – Part 1 - Reading dataWalks through a custom iFlow that reads time-series and master data out of SAP IBP by calling the RFC function modules IBP exposes under communication scenario SAP_COM_0931, reusing SAP's own "SAP IBP – Reusable Integration Flows" package discovered inside SAP Integration Suite and run from SAP Cloud Integration. The call itself goes through an SAP Destination service destination of type RFC — Proxy Type Internet, a communication-user's credentials and jco.client.* properties for host, port and serialization — rather than a connection wired by hand, which is the destination handling RFC connectivity asks for. It also covers the asynchronous read: a UUID transaction id and an offset-driven paging loop for pulling large result sets in packages.Domnic, published 2025-07-18
Using SAP managed iFlows for Time series data Integration in SAP IBP – Part 2 - Writing dataUsing SAP managed iFlows for Time series data Integration in SAP IBP – Part 2 - Writing dataWalks through building a custom integration flow in Cloud Integration that writes time-series and master data into SAP IBP by calling the SAP-managed reusable iFlows behind communication scenario SAP_COM_0931, which consume RFC function modules through a communication user. It details the BTP destination needed to reach them (Type RFC, Proxy Type Internet, and the jco.client.* properties), and the main-flow and local-integration-process design — payload validation in a Groovy script, batch creation, then the XML attributes and payloads for posting master data and key-figure values and for triggering post-processing.Domnic, published 2025-07-18

Covers the RFC destination of type T on the source system, the Communication User, Communication Scenario and Communication Arrangement needed on the cloud side to allow-list the function modules being called, and the three configuration steps on the Business Connector itself, closing with a list of common connection errors and their fixes.Ulrich_Schmidt1, published 2022-10-17
What a Second Document AI Workshop Taught Me About GovernanceWhat a Second Document AI Workshop Taught Me About GovernanceFrom questions raised at a second SAP Document AI workshop: the retention period for extracted data is a setting in the service's administration rather than a fixed property, with the source file deleted after processing and the decommissioning period for the extracted data configured to the customer's own policy. It also draws a boundary readers kept merging: Document AI extracts across languages but does not translate, so turning a document into a reviewer's own language is a separate step, pointing on BTP at SAP Translation Hub.Nicolas_BacaStorni, published 2026-08-25
What an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayWhat an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayA first look at SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub from someone who builds gateways outside SAP for a living: the orchestration service harmonizes provider calls onto one API (a model name string switches providers, and SAP Note 3437766 carries the current model list, token rates and deprecation dates), runs a fixed, non-reorderable module pipeline — templating, masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration, grounding, content filtering, then the model call — and retries down an ordered fallback list whose entries can each carry their own model and rules. It places @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration among the official JavaScript, Java and Python SDKs, and notes SAP's own LiteLLM provider as a way to put a different gateway in front of it.amishkush, published 2026-09-30
What Happens to Your Data When You Enable SAP's AI Features?What Happens to Your Data When You Enable SAP's AI Features?Traces where a prompt goes when Joule, the Generative AI Hub or the orchestration service calls a third-party model through SAP AI Core: the prompt and the business context around it travel to a model such as GPT-4o, Claude or Gemini for inference, and masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration is an optional orchestration module rather than a default, so with no masking block in the @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration client config nothing is masked. On the masking options, which the author says he confirmed with SAP AI Core product management, anonymization discards the original value and pseudonymization keeps it reversible; DPI recognizes person names, email addresses and phone numbers, plus custom entities defined by regex, which leaves commercially sensitive non-PII such as a revenue forecast or a project codename to pass through unless someone writes a pattern for it, and whether that data is covered at all is one of three answers the post marks as still pending. The "no training" assurance for third-party providers is read as contractual rather than technical, and models hosted and managed by SAP, Mistral among them, are named as a path other than a US-hyperscaler-hosted one.jaripie, published 2026-04-23

Why Our First Document AI Exercise Was a Résumé, Not an InvoiceWhy Our First Document AI Exercise Was a Résumé, Not an InvoiceWorking through a SAP Document AI workshop, the author explains why its exercises teach extraction on a résumé before an invoice: a résumé has no stable layout to map fields against, so it forces the point that the tool extracts from a written description of a schema rather than from position-matched templates. Describing the schema is shown to carry real judgment — what a missing end date should become, what a vague field name like "number" costs the model, who in a company should decide these things — and the piece argues that preparing for a project is chiefly a business task of writing down knowledge that otherwise stays in people's heads.Mariano_BacaStorni, published 2026-09-03
Why SAP Cloud Identity Matters for SAP Task Center: It’s About Trust and Global User IDWhy SAP Cloud Identity Matters for SAP Task Center: It’s About Trust and Global User IDA step-by-step configuration walkthrough for wiring SAP Cloud Identity Services as the trust and user-correlation layer behind SAP Task Center: establishing Identity Authentication as the sole trusted identity provider for the BTP subaccount, and generating the Global User ID — carried in the token's user_uuid claim rather than the SAML name identifier — that Task Center uses to match logged-in users to their tasks. It also covers syncing that ID between Microsoft Entra ID, the Identity Directory and SAP S/4HANA through Identity Provisioning jobs, and the principal-propagation trust the cloud connector needs to pass it through to an on-premise task provider.ivelinakiryakov, published 2024-11-25
Workflow development using SAP Cloud Application Programming Model and SAP Build Process AutomationWorkflow development using SAP Cloud Application Programming Model and SAP Build Process AutomationAn argument about where logic belongs rather than a wiring guide. The author's case is that pulling mapping, preprocessing and JavaScript into the process model makes it unreadable to the process owner who has to maintain it, so the model should stay thin and CAP should hold the domain model, the authorisation annotations, the events and the API consumption. Each of those is then shown in turn against SBPA — including publishing CAP events into process visibility.Venugopal, published 2025-02-18

从BTP Launchpad里的sapui5应用里调用部署的CPI IFLOW从BTP Launchpad里的sapui5应用里调用部署的CPI IFLOWA short follow-up to the author's earlier post on calling a deployed CPI iflow from a standalone-router SAPUI5 app, adjusted for the case where the app runs inside the BTP Launchpad: the fetch call is built from the launchpad component's own base URI, and the app's xs-app.json approuter route maps a /cpi/* path to a destination that fronts the CPI iflow runtime, with XSUAA authentication on the route.
